>>36321455>That's probably because there is barely any change between the 2 designs, which is the problem with Alolan forms. Most of them barely change at all from their base forms. Most get a color change and a new design element if they are luck, but relatively stay to the base form's concept.I've never seen someone miss the point of "variant" so fucking badly in my entire life.
You just listed the exact fucking reasons why Alolan forms are excellent as regional variants and why they work so well. Because they, as variants, don't deviate too far from the base Pokemon's design. It's still recognizably that Pokemon, but with a new twist.
>Deltas in the other hand are complete wild cards on what they do (outside of most Ghost and Dark types, which are typically the Pokemon with dark colors, bones, and a dark aura). Something like Quagsire now becomes a Jack-o-lanturn, Seedot becomes a lightbulb, and Crustle either carries a hedge or cake on its back.And that's stupid. Pokemon designs aren't supposed to be "wild cards", they're supposed to fit reasonably into the world and have actual thought put into their designs.
>If the above meantioned Pokemon were to get Alolan forms, Quagsire would become green with gills, Seedot would still be a seed, but thinner, and Crustle would have its slab of dirt look like triangle (and that's if it was luck).That's not a bad thing. Hell, that's a great thing. I want to see Alolan Quagsire and Seedot now.
>If Meowth/Persian got a Delta, they could become a lot of things. Anti Aircraft Guns, Treasure Chests, Tigers/Lions, or anything else.>Anti-Aircraft GunsMy god, I've either been dealing with a troll or the actual fucking developer of Insurgence. Yeah, turn the cat into a fucking AA gun, why didn't I think of that? What a great idea, truly an incredible concept for Pokemon.
I hope you never work on Pokemon or any other kind of monster catching game out there.
>>36321478I'm convinced at this point as well, jesus christ.
